Celebrating One Year of Vibe Temple!
Sunday, November 1 | 2:30–7:30 PM | Meraki, Minneapolis
One year of sound, movement, healing, and community.
Join us as we celebrate Vibe Temple's 1 Year Anniversary with an expanded, 5-hour immersive gathering honoring the beautiful community we've cultivated together.
Experience an afternoon of soulful live music, sound healing, breathwork, yoga, sacred movement, and dance, alongside a vibrant community market, restorative bodywork, nourishing offerings, and creative spaces for all ages.
Rooted in our November theme, The Interior Sanctuary, this celebration is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and nourish the spirit through rhythm, presence, and collective connection.
Whether you've journeyed with us from the beginning or are stepping into the temple for the first time, you belong here.

November Vibe: The Interior Sanctuary
November 1st marks a sacred threshold during the season of the thinning veil—a time for deep listening and grounding. Just after the Full Moon in Taurus, we gather to focus on the Interior Sanctuary. With fewer distractions from the outside world, our internal landscape becomes more vivid. This month is about nourishment, community warmth, and the power of the collective hum to keep our spirits limber as we step into the dreaming months.
Tickets & Community Offerings (Pay-What-You-Wish)
Our intention is that no one is turned away for financial reasons.
This is an event put on by the community, for the community. To celebrate our one-year milestone, admission is strictly donation-based (Pay-What-You-Wish).
Our guest artists are showing up purely out of love, and as a core collective of 5, our main focus for this gathering is to celebrate the people who have helped build this much-needed space over the last year. Our goal for this anniversary is the radical accessibility of a quality, deeply passionate, and authentic communal experience where healing, expression, unity, and love are honored in a natural, grounded, real space.
Our highest intention is that absolutely no one is turned away. You are warmly invited to reserve your ticket for $0. Your presence is the true gift.
To help us continue building this ecosystem and keeping it accessible, we welcome financial donations, aligned partnerships, gifts, and offerings:
Suggested Donation ($10 – $20+): A $10 donation beautifully supports the baseline costs of renting the Meraki space. We are currently finalizing a catered communal meal—if confirmed, a $20+ donation helps ensure we can provide that nourishment for everyone.
Children (Free): Little ones are always welcome with an accompanying adult! We have a dedicated art space downstairs.
What to Bring
Yoga mat or cozy blanket
Water bottle
Journal + pen
Comfortable layers for both energetic movement and quiet rest
Optional: small pillow or eye mask
Space Agreements
This is a sober, substance-free community experience.
Respect yourself, others, and the collective energy of the space.
Honor your own rhythm—rest, move, browse, or simply be.
Light, respectful photography may occur (you are welcome to opt out anytime).
